Update: WWE Reports Bad News Barrett Suffered Separated Shoulder

The official WWE website has published a new article that confirms our earlier reports regarding an injury Bad News Barrett suffered during the WWE SmackDown television taping on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann said Barrett “sustained an injury to his right shoulder when he was thrown into the barricade by Jack Swagger.”

Amann continued, “After Barrett felt an immediate pain and a pop, we brought him back to the training room and the exam showed a separated shoulder. We’re going to do some additional testing this week and then sit down with him and talk about options for treatment for this injury.”

The article goes on to note that Barrett’s status for this Sunday’s pay-per-view, where he is scheduled to compete in the Money In The Bank ladder match, is in question.
